"No," Liu Xin said without hesitation, vetoing Jushou's proposal, "Although Liu Yao is mediocre, he is not much worse. Compared with what Yuan Shu did in Lujiang, Runan and other places, the people of Jiujiang are more willing to stand. On Liu Yao's side, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and we must not go against the sky and help the people to abuse."
In fact, there is another reason Liu Xin did not say. In the past few years, the situation in Jiujiang and Danyang counties has been relatively stable, and the secret spies lurking there have also developed a huge network of relationships, which has penetrated into every aspect and wants to help Yuan Shu. Certain conditions have been met for the capture of Shouchun City, but in this way, these secret spies will be completely exposed, and Yuan Shu will become Liu Xin’s enemy one day, and there will be no secret spies available at that time. This way of losing money Liu Xin won't do the yelling business,
Jushou thought for a while, and then said, "Actually, according to his subordinates, the lord does not need to be so worried. With the strength of the six legions, he can certainly sweep the northern states. If Cao Cao dares to act rashly, the lord can take the opportunity to dominate the world."
Liu Xin shook his head and did not speak. Liu Xin also knew that it was not impossible for him to unify the entire Han dynasty with the military power he now possessed. However, if the Han Dynasty was unified, it would inevitably lead to the fragmentation of the mountains and rivers and the suffering of the people. In the end, it gave those aliens who looked at the Central Plains a chance to take advantage of it.
The Lord is concerned about the humiliation of his ministers and cannot help Liu Xin solve the current predicament. Jushou is deeply ashamed. He has not slept well for two days. However, through these two days of hard thinking and meditation, Jushou also figured out one thing. He handed over and said: "The subordinates are deeply impressed by the Lord’s intention to open up the Western Regions Commercial Road. Since this situation is difficult to resolve for a while, and the subordinates estimate that Cao Cao would not dare to outrage the Lord’s public soldiers, it is better to ask the Lord to go to Guanzhong and preside over the Western Regions. Business matters,"
Liu Xin waved his hand and said: "There is no fluke in the world, and you, have you not seen the tragic situation of Xuzhou after the raging Cao Jun? Liu always feels that something will happen recently, but I don't want the people under his control to suffer this misfortune. , Liu will not go to Guanzhong until his worries are resolved."
After a pause, Liu Xin continued: "However, things in the Western Regions should not be left undecided for a long time. So, I will now appoint Jia Xu as the Protector of the Western Regions and be fully responsible for the reconstruction of the Western Regions. The first army was transferred to Guanzhong to support Liangzhou, and the second army moved to the counties in Jingbei to prevent Cao Cao."
Jushou hesitated for a moment, and said: "Leader Qi, the 7th Legion has already departed from Chengdu a few days ago and will arrive in Yuzhang soon. The first part of the First Legion was originally intended to be transferred to Yizhou. If all are transferred to Guanzhong, Yizhou The state will have no soldiers available,"
The mountain and jungle combat professional troops built by Liu Xin in the 7th Army have been stationed in Yizhou for a long time because of the mountainous areas, which are both useful and convenient for training. There are also mountainous areas in the mountainous areas of Kuaiji and Yuzhang in the south of the Yangtze River. tribe,
Recently, with the resettlement of a large number of refugees, there have been many incidents of mountain-Vietnamese tribes harassing and plundering these refugees. Although they were all repelled by the Third Army, which was in charge of guarding, they also caused certain casualties to the refugees. This caused panic among the refugees who came from Xuzhou.
For these hillyue tribes who repeatedly invaded the Han people, Liu Xin still adopted the methods of the past. On the one hand, he treats them with a policy of equality and non-discrimination. On the other hand, he must resolutely crack down on the diehards who are stubborn in order to deal with the hillyue tribes. , Liu Xin transferred the Seventh Army to Jiangnan. As a professional force in mountain warfare, it was of course the most suitable arrangement for the Seventh Army to deal with the Shanyue tribe.
Due to the ethnic integration since the Qin and Han dynasties, the difference between the Shanyue people and the Han people is not great, and a considerable part of the Shanyue people were originally Han. These Shanyue people live scattered and rely on agriculture for their livelihoods, but because they live in the middle of the mountains, they have sex. A good practice of martial arts has formed a large and small armed groups, and these armed groups are also inextricably linked with the local clans, often whispering to each other, becoming the biggest threat to the foreign refugees.
However, in Liu Xin’s eyes, Jiangnan is sparsely populated. These mountain tribes, which are not much different from the Han people, are extremely important labor resources. His purging and suppression of these mountain tribes is second, and soothing is his ultimate goal. Lord, there was no need to transfer the entire 7th Army, but considering that Jiaozhou will be captured next, there are also many mountains and forests, and this unit is still needed, so Liu Xin simply transferred them all over. , So that they are familiar with the climate and geographical environment of Jiangnan,
Hearing Jushou’s concern, Liu Xin laughed and said: “Now the local army in various places has been reorganized. They have replaced with the same equipment as the regular army, and they have the same food and salary as the regular army. It should be their contribution now. It’s time, don’t worry, with the reputation of the Sixth Lady in Nanzhong, the barbarians there will never turn back."
Liu Xin is so relieved of the situation in Nanzhong. Of course, he did not completely place his hopes on Zhu Rong, the heir of the Vulcan who is recognized in the hearts of the barbarians. In the past two years, many barbarian leaders have served in various counties and counties. Now Liu Xin is in Nanzhong. China’s interests are consistent with their interests, how could they rise up to rebel
In fact, Liu Xin also promulgated the same policy for Shanyue, allowing the nobles of various tribes to serve as county officials, and at the same time enlist the young and strong of the Shanyue tribes into the army, and welcome them to move out of the mountains. Any Vietnamese who move out of the mountains, It is possible to divide fields, agricultural tools and fine seeds like refugees from Xuzhou. Although these policies have not yet seen results, Liu Xin believes that only when everyone’s interests are aligned can we truly work together. To be able to avoid future troubles forever,
Jushou has always supported Liu Xin in marrying Zhu Rong. When he heard this, he laughed and said, "The lord is justified. Even if any tribe dared to rebel, as long as the Sixth Lady raises his arms, it will calm down immediately."
Liu Xin smiled and said: "Gongyou, you go back to prepare a few catties of good tea, and go with me to see the two Mr. Zhang. According to Mr. Mi Zhu, they all have great talents. If you want to solve the current dilemma. , We still need to brainstorm, it’s always good to listen to more opinions,"
After Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong came to Jiangnan last year, they helped Mi Zhu and Yu Fan to settle refugees together. Later, they also settled in Wu Jun. Liu Xin also invited them to serve as an official through Mi Zhu, but they all refused.
However, Liu Xin knew that it was not that these two Mr. Zhang were indifferent to fame and fortune, but that they were putting on the silly air of a literati and wanted Liu Xin to invite him personally. Liu Xin has been in Jiangnan for more than two months, but has never mentioned it again. It’s just a matter of leaving them there for so long. In Liu Xin’s opinion, their stinky shelves should also be put away. Now is a good time to solicit them.
Both of them are famous Xuzhou celebrities, and they both contributed to the resettlement of Xuzhou refugees. Therefore, Yu Fan and Mi Zhu also took special care of their resettlement. Not only did they give them a large house in Wucheng, but they were also leaving Taihu Lake. They were given a manor not far away with hundreds of acres of fertile land. Of course, when the two crossed the river, they were dragged along with their families, and there were many child servants who accompanied them. Without so many fields, they couldn’t support them. Son person,
When they were in Xuzhou, the two were familiar with each other. Now they have experienced the catastrophe in Xuzhou, the place where they happened. The relationship is even closer. The two are now close neighbors, and even the manor outside the city is close to each other. Is getting closer,
With a house and a land, the two have no worries about food and clothing, and there is no role in their lives. Their life is natural and comfortable. At this time, the two of them drank tea in Zhang Zhao’s manor and talked about the tea they brewed. The new tea presented by Yu Fan this year is of course inferior in quality to the tea Liu Xin drank, but it was enough to make the two like it very much, but because the output of tea was low, Yu Fan only gave it to them. Everyone looks like twos and threes, ordinary people come to visit, they are all reluctant to take it out,
Zhang Zhaoyu took a sip of tea, and asked with a smile: "I have heard that Mrs. Liu has recovered Guangling recently, and the whole world is peaceful. I don't know if you have any plans to return to your hometown."
Zhang Hong shook his head and said, "I finally settled down here, and what else to do when I go back. Besides, after staying for a while, I like it a little bit. Mr. Murphy Zibu intends to return to Xuzhou."
Zhang Zhao sighed and said, "My homeland is hard to leave, but I intend to return to Pengcheng, but Cao Cao has taken possession of it, so I sighed."
Zhang Hong values fame and fortune more than Zhang Zhao. Hearing that Zhang Zhao intends to return to his hometown, he could not help but persuade him: "A few days ago, Mr. Zhong Xiang talked about Mr. Liu's plan in Jiangnan. I thought it was very reasonable. In this direction, the prosperity of Jiangnan is just around the corner, so Brother Yu wants to come, and it is not a bad thing to take root in Jiangnan since then. I don’t know what Zibu thinks."
Zhang Zhao asked in surprise: "Ziqi means that I want to be an official."
Last year, Liu Xin used Mi Zhu to invite the two of them to go into office. Zhang Hong originally wanted to nod and agree, but was stopped by Zhang Zhao, saying that if Liu Xin sincerely seeks talents, he will definitely come to the door personally. It’s hard to make a difference after being an official. Zhang Hong listened to Zhang Zhao’s advice and rejected Liu Xin together with him. However, in just a few months, the changes in the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River can be described as changing with each passing day. , Zhang Hong couldn't help regretting a little.
These thoughts in Zhang Hong's heart were inconvenient to tell Zhang Zhao, he had to smile awkwardly, and said, "No, it's just that I've been a little nervous recently,"
In fact, there is no essential difference between the so-called celebrities and ordinary gentry. They tried every means to make themselves famous, but also in order to find a better position in the court or various levels of government in the future. Zhang Zhao is no exception. He rejected Liu Xin. I’m just worried that Liu Xin will arrange an inappropriate position for him.
Hearing Zhang Hong’s words flickering, Zhang Zhao smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I have learned a lot from Mr. Zhongxiang and Mr. Zizhong during this period. Mrs. Liu is not a superior character. He will definitely come to the door to ask. of,"
